DUSKY, DJ SHADOW, SEREBI, LOUIS CARNELL x LEE RANALDO + LORAINE JAMES lead off new music for this week’s ABSTRACT SCIENCE pod with JOSHUA P. FERGUSON + HENRY SELF. JOSHUA takes us through a mix of left-leaning house drawing on deep, Italo + bassy influences, ending on an improvisational forward jazz note. HENRY picks up the second half of the show, easing into things with low-slung synth-flavored sections and picking things up in the latter half with throwback, classic house sounds. [aired 2 November 2023 on WLUW-Chicago 88.7FM]
